Despite winning its last two dual matches and putting up a valiant effort in this weekend’s Pac-10 championships in Ojai, Calif., the Washington women’s tennis team has probably reached the end of its season.

Although they went from being unranked to being the No. 65 team in the nation in the last week of the regular season, the women were unable to keep that momentum going in this weekend’s events and will probably not be invited to participate in the 64-team NCAA championships when teams are announced Tuesday.

This weekend was disappointing for the Huskies, as they were unable to claim a victory on any singles or doubles courts. In both the Pac-10 and the invitational singles draws, the Huskies took only one set, when freshman Aleksandra Malovic pushed her opponent to a third but was defeated 6-1, 5-7, 6-0. The other two entries in the championship draw, Joyce Ardies and Mathilde Cor, were defeated in straight sets.

The second day of play looked to be more promising for the Huskies as doubles action began. Ardies and Cor teamed up as the lone Husky pairing in the Pac-10 Championship draw and lost a tough first-round match 8-5 to Stanford’s Lindsay Burdette and Anne Yelsey, the No. 21 doubles team in the country.

In the invitational bracket, the UW’s Tara Simpson and Melinda Wong were the top seeds and received a first-round bye into the quarterfinals. In their first match, however, they fell 8-4 to Cal’s Daron Moore and Cristina Visico.

The third and final Husky doubles team, Malovic and Allison Rainey, lost in the first round of the invitational draw to Cal’s Bojana Bobusic and Claire Ilcinkas, the eventual champions.

New champions crowned in the Pac-10 draws were Stanford’s Lindsey Nelson in singles and Yasmin Schnack and Riza Zalameda from UCLA in doubles. Nelson was able to avenge her finals loss against Cal’s Susie Babos last year by beating the reigning NCAA champion 6-2, 6-2.

Despite its hardships, the UW women’s team has reason to be optimistic for next season. With no seniors on the team, the Huskies are hoping that next season’s lineup will live up to its full potential.

“I hear the girls talking about next year already,” coach Jill Hultquist said. “They see the future of Washington tennis.”
